Two New Online Handpan Schools - Paid Handpan Tutorials

A good number of people reaching this website, do so in search of Handpan lessons, and tutorials. And while we frequently share videos of that nature that pop-up on YouTube, and have in the past made note of tutorial DVDs, and SKYPE lessons. A recent addition to the Handpan world, for those seeking instruction for improving their skills, comes in the form of the online Handpan school, or course.

In the form of Playpantam.com.

Put together by Handpan musician, Ortal Pelleg, and utilising the name that was commonly used for the Instrument type during the early years of the Hang, in Israel, “Pantam”, playpantam.com is another fee-based resource comprised of video Handpan tutorials. And while playpantam.com was released with very little in the way of promotion, and lacks some of the polish of David Charrier’s tutorials, price wise, with a base price of $14.99, compared to the $129 fee charged for accessing masterthehandpan.com, playpantam.com, particularly if you’re looking for some budget-minded Handpan instruction, might be something that you’ll want to go take a look at...
